crabs found at Eniwetok. An attempt is made to indicate their

biogeographic implications and to summarize their ecology. The Anomura
presently known from Eniwetok Atoll comprise 76 species, representing
29 genera and 10 families. Of this number, 48 species are new to
Eniwetok,

and 43 are new to the Marshall

Thel Brachyura

Islands as well.

Abstract: Biological surveys made during 1946 and 1947 in the northern
Marshall Islands included faunal collections that resulted in a
publication by Chace

(1955)

on several groups of shrimps.

In this work,

six species of sergestid, pasiphaeid, processid, and alpheid shrimps
were recorded from Enewetak. Since then the number of taxa from the
atoll has increased until now nearly 150 decapod shrimp and lobster
species are recognized. Pontoniines and alpheids account for 73% (106
species) of the total number. There are several new records not only
for Enewetak but also for the Marshalls, and in some cases, for the

Pacific. A taxonomic checklist and a section on collection data for new

records are provided.
